Children's book swap

13th of February, 2026

A dedicated children’s book swap has launched at Wilberfoss Community Centre, giving young readers the chance to trade their well-loved stories for fresh adventures. Families can bring along books they’ve outgrown and exchange them for something new, helping stories find a second life in another child’s hands.

It’s a simple, friendly way to spark a love of reading, build community connections, and make sure great books keep circulating rather than gathering dust. Whether a child is discovering picture books or diving into chapter books, the swap offers something exciting for everyone.

Wilberfoss Parish Council has used funds from the Wilberfoss Quarry Fund to build the cabinet and in due course it will be painted by the Community Payback Team.
